Lactuca quercina, commonly called wild lettuce, is a member of the daisy family that is related to the common garden variety of lettuce that originates from Europe.

The entire plant exudes a sap, or latex, that is applied topically. The dried herb is made into tea. Although this plant is also known as Lettuce Opium, the cultivated form of this herb lacks the agent found in related species.

Wild lettuce, also called bitter lettuce, is an annual and sometimes biennial herb that is original to Europe. Despite the name, the plant is not a vegetable but a member of the aster family, although the young, tender leaves are still harvested as a salad green in its native region.

Historically, wild lettuce has been used topically and internally. The plant produces a milky latex sap that hardens with contact with air. The leaf also contains a number of naturally occurring flavonoids.
